This position paper introduces Urgent Edge Computing (UEC) as a paradigm shift addressing the evolving demands of time-sensitive applications in distributed edge environments, in time-critical scenarios.With a focus on ultra-low latency, availability, resource management, decentralization, self-organization, and robust security, UEC aims to facilitate operations in critical scenarios such as disaster response, environmental monitoring, and smart city management.This paper outlines and discusses the key requirements, challenges, and enablers along with a conceptual architecture.The paper also outlines the potential applications of Urgent Edge Computing.
